Q& A
Property Management by Karen Seskis
Hi Karen, I want to sell my investment property but my tenant refuses to let us hold open for inspections....can they stop us? Trevor VIC
Yes Trevor, the Residential Tenancy Act states that open inspections and on-site Auctions can only be held with the tenant’s permission. This scenario can be an issue for sellers but it can usually be overcome with qualified buyers being shown the property by private inspection. This can be carried out but only if the tenant has been issued with the following notices: FORM 10... Notice of Lessor’s Intention to Sell Premises. FORM 9 Entry Notice... giving the tenant a minimum notice of 24 hours. Karen can you help?...we have just moved into a property and now the agent has told us the owner is in financial difficulty and wants to sell the property... we have only been here a month!! Sue, Sunrise Beach. Sorry to hear this Sue it is sad that the owner has to sell, but you do have an option here... the fact you have been at the property for less than two months and you were not advised when you signed the fixed term lease means that you have the option of terminating the lease giving the owner two weeks’ notice (Form 13). Perhaps speaking with the managing agent or owner and negotiating a rent reduction may be an option, as it is expensive to move and the owner may find it hard to rent the property while it is on the market so it could be a win win for you both? If you have any property management questions that you would like to clarify please feel free to contact me on karen@ripeproperty.com.au

Priceless lifestyle: Noosa missed out on the top hot-spot but a bumper tourism season is predicted for the coming months. Picture: DARRYN SMITH
It’s heating back up TERRY Ryder, founder of Hotspotting.com.au has released the annual Top 10 Brisbane and Queensland Hotspots report for 2014-’15. MR Ryder, who has over 30 years’ experience in the industry, compiles the annual report to help identify future growth areas around Australia, as well as name the locations he believes will be future hotspots, outperforming the property market. According to the report, the Sunshine Coast market, which includes the Noosa region, has been hampered by a struggling tourism economy, over-supply of housing and poor housing affordability in recent years. But now, the report predicts the region will return to a much healthier state with data showing growth for the first time in six years thanks to a stronger tourism industry, a more balanced market, a price decline and a rise in popularity for apartment living. The report also said “serious infrastructure” was key to improving the local market. “Nothing supports property price growth like major new infrastructure, which generates jobs, economic activity and improved amenities for residents,” the report reads. The $2 billion Sunshine Coast University Hospital and $37 million engineering learning hub at the University of the Sunshine Coast are listed as major contributors. According to the report, the rental market continues to tighten, which is proving advantageous for investors but concerning for tenants.
42 NOOSA TODAY | Thursday, 18 September, 2014
Hotspotting.com.au founder and report author, Terry Ryder. The latest report from RP Data reveals rental costs for Sunshine Coast homes have risen 2.3 per cent in the year to June 2014, to average $450 a week. Unit rental prices have risen 2.9 per cent to an average $360 per week throughout the region. The report found Noosa and Noosaville are performing well with strong growth in house sales and prices. In the year to June 2014, the report found 166 homes had sold in Noosa and 227 in Noosaville, with the median house price for Noosa at $685,000 and $590,000 for Noosaville, up to 56 per
cent more than the median house price in Maroochydore. Meanwhile, the price of units has risen for most suburbs; Maroochydore reported an increase of seven per cent over the year to reach a median price of $368,000, while Noosa recorded an increase of six per cent to reach a median price of $465,000. Despite the apparent growth of the Noosa region, the report labels the southern precinct of the Sunshine Coast, Kawana south to Caloundra, as the ideal region for investors, suggesting the region offers the best affordability.

THE Noose real estate market was a whole different world in the late 1980s when Base Realtors sales agent Petrea Pradella first entered the industry. “I didn’t have a computer. We did not have mobiles, instead we used a radio to talk to the office,” she said. “And I remember one day I was walking across Hastings Street with other agents and we realised we were the largest group in the street.”

“It was then Brendan Foley said ‘one day people will come to Noosa to watch the rich people play,’ and he was right.” Petrea said she knew when she was 15 years old she would one day be a real estate agent. “I was always into house values,” she said. “But, I grew up in a home where real estate agents were tarred with the same brush as used car sales men and so on. So, for a time I was embarrassed about being an agent. But I got over that
quickly as I gained more experience and confidence. Now, I absolutely love my job and am proud of it.”As one of the first women in the Noosa real estate industry, Petrea said she sometimes experienced the invisible barrier of sexism in the late 1980s and 1990s.

“I didn’t notice it so much when I was a young woman. It was easier to slot in. But as time went by I would leave the industry to care for my family and, when I came back, I was very conspicuous,” she said.
“It is so important to have women in the industry as well as young women in the office. It’s important to know who you are and stay true to that. It was a big thing for me to overcome, but it’s important to remain humble and keep moving forward and upwards,” she said.

special feature
Seachange home on cliff MELBOURNE-BASED design company, Modscape, has created a five-storey concept home that clings to the side of a cliff like a barnacle. Named the Cliff House, the concept was designed as a theoretical response to clients who have approached the company to design home options for extreme parcels of coastal land in Australia. Modscape said the design was inspired by the way barnacles clung to the hull of a ship and was visualised as a natural extension of the cliff, creating a connection with the ocean.
Modscape, well-known for their modular designs and prefabrication technologies, said to make the design plausible a series of stacked modules were anchored into the cliff face using engineered steel pins. The home seems upside down, with the carport and entry to the home on the top floor. A lift connects the occupants to the lower living area, where furnishings are kept to a minimum to make the most of the ocean views. In a seaside town where an ocean view is a must in any luxury home, this design certainly wins out.

Century 21 spreads its reach Century 21 Australasia owner and chairman Charles Tarbey said the new offices would expand the reach and presence of Century 21. “The continued growth of our network is testament to the strength of the brand, the team behind it and our market-leading technologies,” he said. “Growth in itself is not the
overarching objective for Century 21; having the right franchisors join our network is.” Locally, Century 21 Conolly Hay Group principals Mike Hay and David Conolly said they were staunch supporters of the Century 21 brand and received referrals regularly due to the outstanding reputation. They said the national and international growth was reflected on the Sunshine Coast, with a new office scheduled to open in Palmwoods, which would help service the Noosa and Sunshine Coast hinterland clients. Mr Tarbey said the company

selected candidates who would embrace the ethos and values of the Century 21 brand, as there was nothing more valuable to its network than collective reputation. “I’m excited to see the results our new franchise owners will achieve with the backing of Century 21’s proven training, technology and global reach of our network,” he said. The agency’s announcement follows the launch of Century21global.com, a new website which allows people to view every property listed with Century 21 across 74 countries around the world.
